British Prime Minister Theresa May seemed to criticize President Donald Trump on Friday for his assumptions about an improvised explosive device that detonated in London’s subway system Friday morning.
“I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation,” May said, according to interview footage aired by CNN. “As I’ve just said, the police and security services are working to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify all those responsible.”
Trump tweeted about the attack just a few hours after it was first reported. He advocated for limiting Internet access, making his travel ban on Muslim-majority countries “larger, tougher and more specific” and being “proactive & nasty” against ISIS, though he was presumably speculating that the group was involved in the attack.
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!

The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!

We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years.Must be proactive & nasty!

According to CNN, a spokesperson for Scotland Yard said directly that Trump’s comments were “pure speculation given we don’t know who is involved.”
”Any speculation is unhelpful,” the spokesperson said, according to CNN.
I know how much “thoughts and prayers” aggravate the hell out of some people, but I would really prefer our “president” tweet comments of that nature as opposed to this dumbfuckery.
It’s almost as if he wants to grab the headlines before some other news breaks today.
Could it be … Friday?
For this asshole to brag about secret plan to defeat ISIS, then use Obama’s ongoing strategy instead, then brag about degrading ISIS more than Obama, is a perfect, putrid distillation of Trump. All the BS in the world won’t save his soul. And maybe not his presidency, either.
=Insufferable wanker!
Also, he hasn’t gotten his golden carriage state visit to the UK (and he never will).
